California child support laws dictate how much child support will be paid to the custodial parent. Child support laws in California are similar to those in other states, however each state has its quirks, and California child support laws are no exception. One thing which California has in common with all other states is that they do not take lightly failure to pay child support once there is a court order, so if you are having problems with paying your support, it is critical that you contact a qualified California child support attorney to help you get your payments reduced.

California child support award takes into account only:

How much you earn

How much your ex earns

How many children you have

What percentage of time the children are under your care

​Fights over money, especially with respect to child support, lead to some of the most damaging family law cases of all - and such battles are particularly damaging to the children. In the end, it's just money. Try to remember that as you weigh what is most important to you - money, or your children's well-being, and your relationship with your children. Think about it in these terms: how much would you pay to someone to see your children happy? That is the flip side of a child support fight: how much are you willing to damage your children by exposing them to their parents fighting over who will pay how much for them?
